POISONOUS MACHINE O1L.-Take
care how you let any machine oil or
lubricator come in contact with cut
or scratch on your hand Or arm, as Sc
rieus blood poisoning may result. In
the manufacture of some of these ma
chine oils fat from diseased and decom-
posed animals is used. All physicians
know how poisonous such matter is.
The only safeguard is not to let any
spot where the skin is broken, be
touched by any machine oil or lubrica-
tor.-POacer.
Distember in colt takes about three
weeks to run its course. All the med
icine required is a slight dose of Ep-
som salts-say four to six ounces-and
good nursing. Give warm bran
mashes, lnseed or oatmeal Cruel, keep
the animal warm, and rub the legs
with cloths dipped in hot water, a ia
blespoonful of mustard in the water
would he beneficial if the legs seem to
be weak and numb.
Remove the seeds and fill large
green peppers with cooked tomato
pulps and mixed mushrooms seasoned
with butter and salt, and bake in hot
oven. They are very appetizing.
Equal parts of ammonia and turpen-
tine will take paint out of clothing, no
matter how dry or hard it may be.
Saturate the spot two or three times,
then wash out in soapsuds.
If fowls are thirsty they will eat
snow and pieces of ice as well as drink
from the vile gutter; but that is no
reason for neglecting to provide them
with fresh water.
There is more profit in ducks than
chickens if one will take first-class
care of them in the way of feeding.
When clothes are scorched, remove
the stain by placing the garment
where the sun can shine on it.

Christian Neighbor.
BY REV. SIDI III. BROWNE,
OF the South Carolina Conference
A Great LessOn-.Paul Learned 1t.

In the Epistle to the Philippians Paul
asys ~ have learned, in whatever state
am. Herewith to he content. / know
both how TO he abased, and know how
to abound: everywhere and in all things
am instructed both to be full and to be
hungry, both to abound and to suffer
need. can do all things through Christ
which strengtheneth me-
With men who have too little of the
spirit of Christ it is easy and agreeable
"to abound," "to be fulr'-to go up. But
"to be abased," "to he hungry" "to suf-
fer need"-to come down-they find hard
and disagreeable. They could see "duty'
and "provldence" in going up but moth
ing of the sort in coming down. They
can readily learn the lesson of ascending
and keep "right side np," but the coun-
terpart-the lesson of descending-is
strange and mysterious, as ''hard to be
understood" as "some things" that Peter
says Paul wrote In his epistles.
To learn how to be equally content
abased or abounding, full or hungry,
wanting nothing or suffering need, can
be ''learned' only from Christ who,
though he was rich for our sakes became
poor, that we through his poverty might
be rich. Paul had learned this lesson so
perfectly that he was bold to say: 81 can
do all things through Christ which
strengthened me-"
Fulness and need are eXtremeness of
temptation. Agur prayed to be ted by
convenient" food that he might escape
the danger on either hand. Paul being
crucified unto the world and the world
unto him, he was Indifferent as to the
state in which faithfulnesa to Christ
might place him his sole purpose being
to glorify God in his body and spirit by
the manifestation of the life of Jesus in
his mortal flesh.
What a flood OF contentment would
come oyer the world if instead of receiv-
ing honor one of another men would
seek the honor that comes from God only.
Few men are aware of the great him
drance to saving and living faith in
Christ lies in "receiving honor one Of an
other" So incompatible is the honor
which comes from men with that which
comes from God, that Jesus said 10 GER
tain: "Hcw can We believe, which re-
ceive honor one Of another, and seek not
the honor that comcth from God only?"
Let man seek the honor that comes
from God-seek until he receive it-and
henceforth let him set the Lord before
him in all his ways. Then let the men of
the world, if they choose, give honor to
the godly man; but if they choose to
withhold their honor from him he is con-
tent-either way.
When disciples and ministers are as
willing to do hard work and, perchance,
suffer need-to come from high to low
as they are to seek preeminence and full
ness they will have learned the great les
son of contentment and will glory in the
ability to do all things through Christ.

"For woman is not undcveloped man,
But diverse. Could we make her rs the man,
Sweet love were slain, whose dearest bond Is
this
Not like to like but like In difference.
Yet in the long years lil1er must they grow
The man be more of woman, she OF man:
lie grow In sweetness and In moral height,
Nor lose the wrestling thews that throw the

She mental breadth, nor fail in childward

Till at the last she set herself TO man
Like perfect music unto noble words"

Writing Letters.

Youth of both sexes may leacn from
the following extract how TO do that
which many attempt and few 90 we'll.
We refer to the art of letter-w-iting--
"lost art" owing to postal cards and
newspapers, but which, when done al
all, should be so performed as to show
the writer to be person of culture:
GAS a rule, every letter, unless in.
sulling in its character, requires an an
swer. To neglect to answer q letter,
when one is written to, is as uncivil as
to neglect to reply when spoken to.
"In the reply, acknowledge first the
receipt of the letter, mentioning its
date, and afterward consider all the
points requiring attention.
"If the letter is to be very brief,
commence sufficiently far from the toI
of the page to give a nearly. equal
amount of blank paper at the bottom
of the sheet when the letter is ended
"Should the matter in the letter con
tinue beyond the first page, it is well
to commence letter above the middle
of the sheet, extending as far necessa
ry OH the other page. ,
1T is thought impolite to use hal
sheet of paper in formal letters. AS .
matter of economy and convenience
for business purposes, however, it is
customary to have the card of the bus
mess man printed at the top of the
sheet, and single leaf is used.
"In writing letter, the answer te
which is of more benefit to yourself
than the person to whom you write
be sure to enclose a postage stamp fol
q reply.
Letters should be as free from era
sures, interlineations, blots and post
scripts as possible. 1t is decidedly bet
ter to copy the letters than 70 have
these appear.
IA letter of introduction and recon-
mendation should never be scaled, as
the bearer to whom it is giver ough
to know the contents"

THE DYsPEPTIC WoRM.-Don't
live in your study. You may get the
reputation of being book worm, but
many people have a prejudice against
worms. You may get the dyspepsia,
and dyspeptic ''book worm" is the
most offensive variety We know of. II
you live in your study, your preaching
may be bookish and monastic, but it
will lack the inspiration of real life,
and you will lose your hold on the
people. Christ lived among the peo-
Die He would save.

Speaking of courtesy, did it ever oc-
cur to the reader that very few people
ever thank the Gospel minister for a
sermon that has encouraged, comfort
ed and inspired them? The writer re-
members sanity woman, now in
heaven, who used to come to him after
the congregation was dismissed, with
tears in her eyes, and say: "My broth
er, I want to thank you for that SER
mon-it did me so much good" 1t
was no empty compliment. It will do
your pastor good to be assured that his
sermons are helpful to you.

The sin we committed long ago is
not only laid up against us, but is
working out its natural effects in Civ
ing us pain. We are therefore suffer-
ers from it, which, in one sense, is to
he regretted, but from another point of
view we are gamers, for the sting
keeps it in memory and urges us to re-
pentance.
Through the whole Of life's long way
Outward, In inward nech we trace
Need arising day by day;
Patience wisdom, strength and grace.
Needing Jesus most OF all,
Full of need, on him we call
Then how gracious his reply
"God shall all your need supply"
God giveth grace to the humble.
He pours it out plentifully on humble
hearts. His sweet dews and showers
slide off the mountains, and fall on
the low valley of humble hearts, and
make tl6h pleasant and fertile.
Those who excel in strength are not
most likely to show contempt Of weak
ness.

(Rev. T. l.. C,tyler, D. d.

One great purpose in all affiiction is
to bring us down to the everlasting
arms. What new strength and peace
it gives us to feel them underneath us
We know that, far as we may have
sunk, we can not 60 any farther.
Those mighty arms can not only hold
US; they can lift us up; they can car
ry us along. Faith, in its essence, is
simply resting on the everlasting
arms. 1t is trusting them and not our
own weakness. The sublime act of
Jesus as our Redeemer was to descend
to the lowest depths of human deprav-
ity and guilt and to bring up his re-
deemed ones from that horrible pit in
his loving arms. Faith is just the
clinging to those arms and nothing
more.

RELIGIOUS WoRLDLINEss.- lis
Methodsm ambitious to benefit the
world in this way? If not, let us cease
the evil and growing habit of locking
up hundreds of thousands of dollars
in costly church buildings, erected
partly to God and partly to Mammon
and our own pride. The money sunk
in the splendid churches of some cities
that we might mention would have
put decent and serviceable house of
worship in every neglected street now
filled with profanity and reeking with
foulness. We know city congrega-
tions in Methodism that in their de-
sire to outstrip their neighbors in this
matter of fine churches have bank
rupted themselves, and paid their
debts under the judgment of a court.
What influence In a community has q
church which in the effort to be finer
than its neighbors has contracted debts
which 1t cannot pay-debts that must
be collected by the sheriff? And when
able to pay, it is the Lords money and
not ours, and we should use it to carry
the gospel to the Lords poor. May
the Lord redeem US from the curse Of
fine churches. May He lead us to
build only such houses rs are suited to
the necessities of all. We had better
be in the open air than coffin the Cos
pei in some churches that we know.

SIMPLICITY WITH WAR.-When
one considers what a terrible thing
war is-how vast the sum of evils and
miseries of every description it i'm
plies; and that its burdens and woes
fall mostly on those who had no part
in fomenting it and no voice in declar-
ing it, he can scarcely command lam
guage to express his adherence of
those persons who, from motives of
self-interest, supply incentives to war.
If they have war in Europe" on
the lips of an American business man,
may not be bloodthirsty sentiment !;
but if he keeps saying it because the
wish Is father to the thought, and if
he coolly proceeds to lay plans to pro-
fit by the war, he is a moral accessory.
Editors that make much out of. all
the little clouds that appear on the Eu-
ropean sky, and that prove with great
skill the necessity of a war between
nations that should live in peace, may
imagine themselves engaged in legiti-
mate journalism But tojust men and
the just God all such idle or curious or
interested contributions to q great ca
lamity involve completely in evil.

Carter narrison's Bath I'm Japan.

NfHNHsH aAHAN'
Then one of the girls tells rs that the
hath is ready. We undress and put on a
robe. A girl shows us to. the bathroom. 1t
il down stairs, and has only an open ia
panese screen to shut off the gaze OF the
habitues of the house. The tub is a round
wooden vat about four feet deep. You put
sour foot in to try the temperature. The
foot at once takes the hue of a boiled lob
ster. YOu nearly shrek. The girl laughs
and empties a pail OF cold water in. You
then wait tor her to go ont. She does no
bulge. You can't, to save yourself, think
of enough Japanese to tell her to git. FL
nallv. By a lot of awkward signs, you get
her beyond the screen. But not an inch
farther. There she stands and waits, as
innocently as did good old Eve when
Adam poured into her willing ears his first
declaration of undying affection.
There are things that try mems souls
aud call for heroic courage. One can scale
the bristling wall, can march into the
mouth ola hot. thrOated cannon, can mount
the scaffold with the shining axe glisten-
ing in the sun, can tell the girl he lsves
how he would win and wed her, can make
a maiden speech in the House OF Repre-
sentatives. But these are easy tasks COM
pared to that OF getting into a hot bath
wiuh a pretty Japanese girl looking at you
through a rattan screne-looking al you'
too, with as much sang froid as II she was
seeing a three-months-old baby stripped
of its little flannel shirt.
Finally patience gives out, you drop
your robe and jump in. Good heavens,
the pail of cold water did cool the thing,
but the furnace is still adding ~caloric. You
feel much as did the poor Japanese mar
tyrs when, a few hundred years ago, the
heather wretehes boiled them into grease.
You forget the girl and everything else
and jump out thoroughly clothed, l. e
clothed in scarlet skin. All, these are
things which try mems souls.
